Hello, I am 18 week with first baby, due 7 April, and every couple of days have been experiencing an unbelieveable pain in my left br___t going into the nipple, which feels ready to explode. Has anyone else experienced the same? I am also having some real aches in my lower abdomen from time to time, which I believe is stretching...does that sound right? I felt the baby having a little play - doing gymastics the other night though, so that was brilliant! Any comments gratefull received

I have been having an occasional achy abdomen off and on for the last month or so... it does seem to be stretching and growth spurts. It hurt very badly today, in fact, and it is always worrisome for me because I fear losing this baby (this is my fourth pregnancy with no living children). And although my b___sts had not been sore for several weeks, just a week or two ago I started getting distinct nipple pain... even when my nipples weren't touching my clothing or anything else. I am at 19 weeks now, so it sounds as if we have had similar symptoms at the same time.
